SimplyRaw Detox Tip: MAKE YOUR OWN BEAUTY PRODUCTS

Did you know that you can make some of your favorite beauty products yourself? You can, and for pennies on what you’d pay for them at the store. Most of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry and/or garden—items like sugar, salt, oils, citrus, and herbs. Besides being budget-friendly, making beauty products at home means you control what goes in, so you know exactly what goes on your skin.

The fact that homemade products don’t include any ingredients you can’t pronounce is especially good news for anyone with sensitive skin, those who want to go completely green, and those worried about animal testing.
